The Master's utter, utter humiliation of The Doctor showing his total lack of grasp of human love: to Martha it just meant "He's still alive". She'd been carrying out the plan without knowing that for a year. But, hey ho, let's get distracted by an imagining of what an alien mught look like when forced to age without regeneration.
The Master's refusal to regenerate was essentially the same motivation as the Dalek in Dalek: He was taking his ball home because the other boys wouldn't play to his rules. (I got the impression his pyre was back at the end of time, so unlikely to be his Mrs taking the ring. I wondered if another Galliferyan was at large).
The reset button that wasn't: The. President. Is. Still. Dead. That's a biggee.
**The persistent scuttlebut has been that the producers felt Martha wasn't working out as well as hoped. I am hoping that this is just observers misinterpreting then ending, since she has made me forget all about Rose**
